Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Milford: your questions answered
Is Milford close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Do you come to Milford?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
